We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Bangarapet in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Bangarapet, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
